The Samsung Galaxy Note7 was a major disaster for Samsung this year. After a series of fire incidents, the flagship phablet had to be recalled indefinitely due to safety concerns.

Before Samsung releases its next big thing next year, the Korean smartphone maker would need to assure consumers that such incidents would not occur again with their future models. To address the concerns, a new round of investigation on the Note7 was initiated with product safety authorities and experts from both Korea and the US.

If you own a GoPro Karma or have placed an order for one, here’s some bad news. GoPro is announcing a full recall for its first-ever drone. This is due to a performance issue where the Karma may suddenly lose power in mid-flight.

With most major airlines including AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines and Malindo Air banning the Galaxy Note7 from their flights, Samsung Malaysia is setting up special booths to provide support to its current users.

Since you’re not allowed to carry the device onboard your flight, you may return your Galaxy Note7 at these booths located at KLIA and KLIA 2. This is applicable for Note7 units purchased from Samsung Malaysia and from other markets.

Samsung Malaysia has just published its full details on its exchange and refund process for Galaxy Note7 owners in Malaysia. This is applicable for both pre-order and replacement units which are to be returned for your own safety.

Samsung Malaysia has finally issued a statement with regards to the discontinuation of the Galaxy Note7. Existing Galaxy Note7 customers in Malaysia will get two options which include getting your money back.

Sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 have finally come to an end and all units are to be returned back in the interest of safety. After initiating a worldwide recall, the Galaxy Note7 is still having battery issues even on its new “safe” replacement units.

In the US, where the Galaxy Note7 had more prominent incidents, Samsung had distributed a specially designed Note7 Return Kit for safer handling. The kit isn’t your typical courier box and it’s packed up like a Russian doll.

Samsung is currently undergoing a huge recall for its Samsung Galaxy Note7. As existing owners are getting replacements with new batteries, the biggest question remains: How do I know if I’m using a new Note7? Airlines have banned them from use and there are some concerns if users are getting the same returned units with bad batteries.

To address those concerns, Samsung has officially announced 4 different ways to identify if your Galaxy Note7 is coming from a fresh batch.

UPDATE: Samsung Malaysia has issued a similar statement. More details below.

Last week, Samsung had issued a recall notice to all existing Galaxy Note7 users in the interest of customer safety. Now they have just issued another one to emphasise the importance of replacing the Galaxy Note7 immediately.
